Tech View: Long Bear Candle
A long bearish candle has formed on the daily chart with a long upper shadow. Technically, this pattern indicates rejection of bulls at new highs. This could also be seen as a near-term upper reversal pattern. The positive chart pattern, such as higher highs and higher lows, is intact according to the daily chart and the current market weakness could be seen as a higher upper reversal of the pattern. Additional weakness should find a base for a higher background formation. “Immediate supports like the rising resistance line as per the change in polarity and the daily 10-period EMA are placed around the 19200 levels, which could be immediate cluster support for the market in the event of further weakness ahead. Any upside bounce from here could encounter a significant hurdle at the 19425 levels,” said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
